THE FLOWEB VASE. 135 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM. 
Ornithogalum. Class 6. — Order 1. 
Boot bulbous. Flowers white, six-petalled, with no calyx. 
Let us follow Jesus. 
***** 
Shall we not follow where his feet have trod, 
And, by an humble love, and faith sincere, 
Approach the likeness of the Son of God ? 
His Life is with us, and his quickening Word — 
Shall these be hidden from our daily sight, 
Or only ’neath the temple’s arches heard, 
Or dreamed of in the still, inactive night? 
Oh, no! His holy lessons shall be learned 
By wayside coimings in our daily walk; 
And, as the hearts of his disciples burned 
When listening, as they journeyed, to his talk, 
So shall our hearts be thrilled, our souls subd ued, 
By the deep wisdom of his gentle speech, 
Until with light, and peace, and love imbued, 
His kingdom, and its rest divine, we reach.
